First Things First
Matthew 6–8
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Matthew 6:33 KJV
TODAY’S DEVOTION
Jesus places the kingdom of God before the anxieties that compete for our attention. Seeking Him first gives every lesser concern its proper place. This is not a call to religious performance, but to a sincere response of faith and obedience to Jesus Christ. Let the truth move from the page into the choices, words, and relationships of this day.
